    This is the best Calimoto review I’ve seen. I’ve watched a few and this one really explains the app, not just showing actual rides. The reviewer really knows how to instruct and explain. I could easily plan and create rides after watching. I’m surprised he does not have the most views. He probably will soon. Thanks a bunch. Well done!

    Great review and great app. The only downside I found with the app is that I found if you had a way point programed in & accidentally missed it, there was no way to skip it without going into the menu system. Bit awkward on the move with gloves on. They need a one touch pop up function which allows you to skip a way point on the move.

    Thanks Billy, a very well explained introduction to Calimoto - really good! I was wondering if you can shed some light on some of the questions that came to my mind as I watched it: 1) Can Calimoto show speed limit information for the road you're riding like, for instance, Google Maps does?; 2) Can Calimoto provide/consier information about traffic conditions and alternative routes when planning a ride?; 3) You explained how to find rides outside of the free area on the phone app requires a premium subscription - same on the the online PC interface?; 4) The "filter rides by tags and by lenght" screen on my Android phone does not have a “confirm” button like the one on your video, a) Is that because I have don’t have premium subscription? Thanks!

    Hi Gustavo Thanks for watching the video, your message and questions 1. Speed limit is not shown on screen. I was thinking exactly this when out last Saturday. This is one of the data missing form the screen info when navigating. I have suggested this to Calimoto. 2. Current traffic conditions not applied when planning route. Also 'live' traffic updates is not part of its function. Other features to make this a great app. Again I have suggested this to Calimoto. 3. No not the same on line when planning a trip outside of your free area. This only applies when using the app and on your phone. This is the first inconsistency I have noticed between app and online version. Fed this to Calimoto. 4. Yes this is a feature of the pro membership which by the way I have literally just read will increase €10 on May 2nd. If you buy before then renew annually at the lower price. ie the price does not go up for existing members even when renewing the annual fee as long as your membership remains active. Let me know if nay other questions Cheers Billy

    Hi again Don. Offline maps work by downloading the map or a section of it to your phone so that you do not need a signal for it to work. Depending on how far you are travelling without a signal will depend on the map size you need to download. Hope that helps. Cheers. Billy
